PTC releases technical program

The Pipeline Technology Conference (PTC) has released its premier technical program, including the new non-technical side conference.

In 2019, PTC will feature four seminars, a number of plenary sessions and 25 technical
sessions when it takes place in Berlin, Germany on 19–21 March 2019.

A non-technical side conference addressing public perception
will be presented before the technical conference and exhibition on 18 March.

On Monday, the non-technical conference will address the growing
interest in public perception issues within the pipeline industry.

Four key issues will be discussed, including projects being
called into question by the public, making sure the public is sufficiently
informed, increasing public participation and authorities recognising new
challenges in the public engagement.

The rest of the day will include a Eurasian Pipeline Forum
plenary session, a panel discussion on digital transformation and cyber
security in the industry, and six technical sessions covering inline inspection
(ILI), digitisation, materials, trenchless technology, pipeline coating, and
qualification and recruitment.
